ABSTRACT
Abstract Objective: Monitoring of healthy children should include precise assessment of their nutritional status to identify children and adolescents at risk of nutrition disorders. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the nutritional status of healthy children using different nutritional risk screening tools. Method: The study sample consisted of 550 participants within the age range of 7-15 years. Anthropometric characteristics (body mass, height, body mass index) were collected using standard procedures. In addition, the following parameters were analyzed: fat mass, fat-free mass, body cell mass, and total body water. Results: The results revealed that variables such as children's age and sex significantly differentiated the values of selected components of the body composition. Conclusions: This observation suggests that it is necessary to use different methods to evaluate nutritional status among healthy children.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the clinical effects of enteral immunonutrition on patients with hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis and its influence on levels of immunologic function and nutrition indicators.Methods 2015,100 patients with hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis Selected from department of general surgery between January 2012 and December were randomly divided into observation group and control group,and each group had 50 cases.All patients were treated with conventional treatment,monitored for vital signs,fasting water,gastrointestinal decompression,anti-infection,acid suppression therapy and suppression of trypsin activity,balance of water electrolyte and acid-basewere included.After bowel function in patients with recovery,two groups were given enteral nutrition support,observation group were received enteral immunonutrition therapy.At the same time,we added the immune enhancement components.After treatment for 10 days,we compare two groups of patients with therapeutic effect,for APACHE-Ⅱ score,nutrition indicators (ALB,PAB),immune index(TLC,IgA,IgG,IgM) changes.Results After two groups of patients were given different enteral nutrient solution,the clinical total effective rate of observation group was obviously higher than that of control group(P ＜ 0.05).After treatment for 10 days,the indicators were obviously improved.The APACHE-Ⅱ score of the observation group were significantly fallinger than that of the control group (t =3.311,P ＜0.05).The ALB and PAB levels of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (t =2.217,6.622,P ＜ 0.05).At the same time,the TLC,IgA,IgG,IgM of the observation group were improved significantly better than the control group (t =3.600,4.867,3.270,3.911,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Enteral immunonutrition can improve the nutrition indicators and immunological function of patients with hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis,thus improve prognosis and promoting recovery of the patient.
ABSTRACT
Con el objetivo de conocer la situación nutricional de los alumnos de la unidad educativa "Santiago Mariño", fué realizada en el año 2005 una evaluación antropométrica de 236 escolares, a los cuales se les pesó, talló y tomó su edad en años cumplidos. El déficit de peso para la edad fue de 10,1%, de los cuales 5,9%, presentan peso deficiente o desnutrición global y 4,2% están a riesgo de desnutrición. El déficit de peso para la talla, fue de 18,3%, lo cual significa que los mismos presentan desnutrición aguda. El indicador talla para la edad registró un déficit de 5,1%, significando 1,7% de desnutrición crónica y 3,4% a riesgo de desnutrición. Las niñas tienen una probabilidad de 2,9 veces más de presentar exceso de talla para la edad que los varones (p>0.05). Según el Indice de Masa Corporal 13,6% de los alumnos sufren déficit nutricional y 3,4% obesidad.
As to assess the nutritional status of the pupils in "Santiago Mariño" school, an anthropometric evaluation was performed during 2005 on 236 students, determining height, weight and checking their exact age. 10.1% of the sample showed weight deficit according to age, among them, 5.9% had defficient weight or global undernowrishment and 4.2% were on risk. Weight deficit according to height was 18.3% which implies acute under nourishment. Indicator size / age showed a 5.1% deficit which means 1.7% of cronic undernourishment and 3.4% of risk. Female pupils have a 2.9% higher probability of reporting excess of height according to age in comparison with boys (1>0.05). According to Mass Corporal index nutritional deficit was assessed in 13.6% of the pupils and obesity in 3.4%.
